> How does this affect downstream tools like tsdown and esbuild, which need to build the TypeScript codebase? esbuild doesn't rely on TypeScript at all, so there's no issue there. …

The methodology used in this paper was extremely bad. There is no reason there should be any disparity between a TypeScript and JavaScript benchmark. Unfortunately it has continued…

I guess since this at the top of HN, I'll just plug that we (the TypeScript team) are looking for broader feedback of the native previews before our stable release, whether that's:…

pnp is still very cool, and it would be great if we can find a better API story that works well with pnp!

Hey bcherny! Yes, dog-fooding (self-hosting) has definitely been a huge part in making TypeScript's development experience as good as it is. The upside is the breadth of tests and …

We are sure there will be a way to embed via something like WebAssembly, but the goal is to start from the IPC layer (similar to LSP), and then explore how possible it will be to i…

We'll be working on an API that ideally can be used through any language - that would be our preferred means of consuming the new codebase.

We anticipate that we will eventually get a playground working on the new native codebase. We know we'll likely compile down to WebAssembly, but a lot of how it gets integrated wil…

We did anticipate this question, and we have actually written up an FAQ entry on our GitHub Discussions. I'll post the response below. https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go/di…

Hi folks, Daniel Rosenwasser from the TypeScript team here. We're obviously very excited to announce this! RyanCavanaugh (our dev lead) and I are around to answer any quick questio…

This isn't a course about generative AI if that's what you're getting at. Mentioning this because I did assume that from the title.

Hi all, I work on the TypeScript team. There's already a lot of feedback on the issue itself from users urging the authors not to make this decision, so I will hold back from addin…

One of the key things that we've focused on with TypeChat is not just that it acts as a specification for retrieving structured data (i.e. JSON), but that the structure is actually…

Hi there! I'm one of the people working on TypeChat and I just want to say that we definitely welcome experimentation on things like this. We've actually been experimenting with ru…

Whoops - thanks for catching this. Earlier iterations of this blog post used an different schema where `size` had been accidentally specified as a `number`. While we changed the sc…
